Chapter 34 - Chapter 34 Escape

After listening to the forehead, I thought there would be some earth-shattering reasons for weeping ghosts and gods. (.)

"Will your encounter with ghosts be influenced by your grandfather?"

"Who knows!" Meng Changqing responded, and then said: "Concentrate on walking, and then ask questions and throw you two out."

Xiaoxiao and I looked at each other and smiled, and stopped talking on the road. Meng Changqing walked slowly because he was dragging the two of us.

When we got to the door, we saw the old man standing at the door and refusing to go in. I thought it was because the door was smashed by a walking corpse that he refused to go in. I was afraid that the walking corpse inside hadn't left yet, so I quickened my pace.

Going to the door, following the eyes of the old man, he glanced inside, and met the eyes of the man in black robe he saw in the morning.

He was standing motionless in the middle of the room at the moment. I saw him and said in surprise that it was you.

The man in black looked at us anxiously, and beckoned us to go in. Xiaoxiao, me and the old man didn't dare to go in rashly. Seeing Meng Changqing nodded slightly, hummed, and then looked at the old man again.

We saw that Meng Changqing had already gone in, so we also went in one after another.

The old man came in last, and he asked Meng Changqing who it was.

Before Meng Changqing could answer, the man in black robe asked first, "Are you Chen Zhong?"

The old man nodded and said yes, and the man in black then said: "You are near the end of your lifespan, do you want to die naturally and go to reincarnation, or do you want to be a errand by my side?"

"This..." The old man looked at the man in black with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant.

The black-robed man said that he was one of the four souls, and he was recruiting some dying Taoist priests, witches, Duan Gong, gods and the like because of insufficient manpower. .

I couldn't help but patted myself on the head when I heard it, and felt like I was on TV.

The old man nodded after thinking for a while, then the man in black robe took out a yellowed book from inside his black robe, opened a few pages, asked the old man to write his birth date on it, and dripped a drop of blood on it .

After finishing, the man in black said that he would come to pick up the old man at midnight, and now he had to send a group of ghosts, so he had to leave first.

Until he left for a long time, I was still standing there. I used to doubt whether hell existed or not, but now the people in hell stood in front of me alive.

Seeing my surprised look, Meng Changqing smiled and ignored me.

After the black-robed man left, the old man hurried into the house to tidy up. He collected all the things he had used and said that he would burn them after he died.

After cleaning up the house, he asked us to call the people in the village, and he chatted with them before he died.

We went to call all the people in the village over. They thought that the old man was dying, but when they came, they saw the old man sitting on the chair in good health, and they all said that the old man was joking.

Since we came here, we naturally had to chat for a while. When the chat reached around ten o'clock, some people wanted to leave, but the old man forced them to stay.

At eleven o'clock, the crows on the tree outside suddenly yelled, and the old man's little yellow dog also barked at the old man.

After hearing the crow, the old man said: "The time is coming. After I leave, I would like to ask the villagers to bury me. I have already chosen the cemetery, which is next to my wife. Just drag it away and bury it, no need for a night watch."

The villagers said one after another that they would not die, and reassured the old man. The old man smiled and fell asleep leaning on the chair.

I looked outside the house, and at this moment the man in black was standing at the door again, beckoning to the old man, and the old man's soul immediately escaped and walked outside the house.

None of the villagers saw this scene, only Meng Changqing and I saw it.

After the soul of the old man went out, I muttered, "He's dead."

When the villagers heard it, they immediately turned around and reprimanded me for talking nonsense, but to be on the safe side, they still touched the old man's hand, and then they were shocked because the old man really died.

After the person died, they didn't have time to chat anymore. They started to prepare for the old man's funeral. Meng Changqing carried the old man into the coffin, burned a stick of incense in front of the coffin, explained some things to the villagers, and took us away. .

After leaving the village, he asked Xiaoxiao to take out the book. He flipped through it and handed it back to Xiaoxiao, so that Xiaoxiao would focus on reading this book in the future.

I asked what this book was, and Meng Changqing said: "Walking Horses in the Water" looks like a castle in the air, but if you study Feng Shui thoroughly, it is not impossible to realize it. This book mainly talks about Feng Shui, very Good for beginners."

Xiaoxiao said, and Meng Changqing said in a joking tone: "Girl, you should read this book more during this time. If I die in the future, I have to ask you to find a good grave for me. By the way, I will give it to this brat." Find one too, if it's okay, it will cause trouble for me all day long."

Xiaoxiao laughed when she heard this, and I muttered to the side where I was causing trouble. After muttering, I took out the hairpin in my hand and discussed with Xiaoxiao, wanting to exchange it with her.

Xiaoxiao originally wanted to switch with me, but Meng Changqing stared back at her wish.

Now that grandpa has returned to the village, there is no point in us staying here any longer. It was a mistake for us to work so hard to follow here. We didn't do anything, and we made ourselves exhausted. But at least he knew about the baby spirit and the walking corpse.

When we walked back out of the village, the three crows that had been parked at the door of the old man's house flew towards us and followed us all the time.

When I saw them, my heart was in my throat. None of the people here can die.

Fortunately, they only followed for a while and then left.

We were delayed on the road for a day and a night, and when we got back to the village head of Snakehead Village, we saw the three crows again, and they screamed when they saw us.

Seeing them screaming happily, I recalled the whereabouts of the three crows. At first, I found them at the door of the old man's house. After Meng Changqing and the old man went out to carry the coffin, they followed, and now they followed us again.

Thinking about it this way, the person they followed along the way was not the old man, but Meng Changqing?

When I thought of this, I was startled suddenly, and Meng Changqing stared at the three crows for a long time.

Afterwards, he placed a nine-square grid on the ground, fiddled with it a few times, and then pinched his fingers. After about a minute, he got up and said, "I'll let you two figure it out. Nothing will happen to you in the near future, don't worry."

"What about you?" I asked.

After hearing this, Meng Changqing said seriously: "My lifespan is not over, and I will not die yet."

Even so, I am still very worried about Meng Changqing. The more I think about it, the more I feel that the three crows have been following him.

When we talked at the entrance of the village, we disturbed the dogs in the village. When the dogs barked, the villagers naturally came out, saw us and hurriedly welcomed us into the house.

Before I had time to be polite after entering the house, I asked my grandpa if he was back, and they said no. Compared to his not coming back, they also told me a big event.

After we left, the second grandma called and would come back, she only said a few words and then hung up.

I asked what the second grandma was talking about, and the villagers said that the second grandma seemed to be confessing her last wish, let us take care of Xiaoxiao, and asked Meng Changqing not to let Xiaoxiao have an accident, and let me not forget what I promised her before .

When asked where the second grandmother was, the villagers did not know.

Meng Changqing and I were secretly anxious, but Xiaoxiao cried directly, clamoring to find her grandma.

After the villagers told us about this, they asked us where we had been these days. We made some random nonsense, chatted a few words in the villagers' house, and then we went back to the house directly.

Grandpa was really not in the house. After entering the house, Meng Changqing told us to go to bed quickly. He went to the second grandma's house to see if he could find any clues.

Meng Changqing was originally extremely conservative, but he was afraid that Xiaoxiao would be scared after they separated, so he asked me to take care of her.

At night, she lay next to me and quickly fell asleep. Although I was very sleepy, I couldn't fall asleep at all. All I could think about was the crow barking at Meng Changqing.

When Meng Changqing came back, I was still staring at the bed.

After Meng Changqing entered the room, I got up from the bed and asked him if he found anything in the second grandmother's room.

He took out a photo of Second Grandma and Xiaoxiao from his pocket, and asked, "Is this your Second Grandma?"

I said yes, and he said, "She was the one who told me that I had to be a Taoist priest to survive."

I was not surprised when I heard that, after all, Meng Changqing's grandfather was the teacher of the second grandmother. She saw that Meng Changqing was haunted by ghosts when she was young, so she naturally offered to lend a helping hand.

But, what did she do with us together?

Meng Changqing also had doubts, saying that it seems that grandpa will not come back to this place now, but we only need to ask one of them to find out the answer to the mystery. become difficult.

Meng Changqing then asked me to rest and set off early tomorrow morning to find my second grandmother.

I listened to his arrangements and went back to bed to continue sleeping, while Meng Changqing went to the room where my grandfather used to sleep.

At about eight o'clock the next morning, Meng Changqing woke us up and told us to pack up and leave immediately.

We left only one night after we came back. The villagers knew that we were going to go far away this time, so they all came out to see us off. After getting in the car, we rode away in a short ride. Because we didn't sleep well a few days ago, we closed our eyes and fell asleep right after getting in the car .

After the car stopped, Meng Changqing woke us up, got out of the car with a small bag, and didn't know where to go for a while. I don't know the whereabouts of the second grandma at all.

When asked about Meng Changqing, where we should go, Meng Changqing pointed to Zhengbei and said, "I will go out first and find you a place to live in a while. If I haven't come back by tomorrow morning, you can take it with you." Let's go to a nearby Taoist temple and ask the people inside to give you some money and send you back."

As he spoke, Meng Changqing took out a seal from his bag, with the words "Deacon Yuzhen" engraved on it.

He said it as if he was determined, and we couldn't help but feel a little worried, so we asked him where he was going.

Seeing that we were worried, he smiled and said, "The crow was calling at me, and the eyelids kept jumping in the car today, and I always felt that something was going to happen. I can't just sit and wait for death. Of course I'm going to run for my life..."
